. Richard and Linda Paluck
have a very special house. |
Built about 25 years ago, it is.
not only one of the first |
houses in Lions Bay, but also”
one of the first “A” frames in
the area. After building the
first “A”, two and a half
years later the second “A”
was added.

When the Palucks bought

the house four and a half -
years ago, they immediately
added a fireplace to the
living room, which now has a.
“contemporary-country”’ fl-—
avour. One of the reasons |
Richard and ‘Linda’ bought
the house was the fact that
although it is only 10 minutes.
from Horseshoe Bay, you
really feel you are in the |
country with forest and
ocean views all around.

Country
retreat

The house has three
bedrooms and one office,
one fireplace, a _ billiard
room, and a couple of decks,
one of which goes just about
around the entire house.
There is also a carport.

The lot is totally wild with
no maintenance except
occasional tree-topping to
preserve the view of the
Howe Sound and the islands.

The kitchen has unique
cupboards. Because of the
sloping wall on one side and
a glass wall on the other,
cupboard space was limited. .

To utilize the available:
space to the maximum, the
shelves in the under-counter
cabinets roll out several feet
revealing a great deal of
storage space. There is also a
pantry nearby.

Future plans would in-
clude adding another deck
on the gound level and, of
course, a hot tub in the
trees.
